1-800-922-0204
There is only one office that is setup for Verizon Customers using an Onstar Device as their second or third line. Ask me how I know! AND trust me, you don't want the regular Verizon Customer Service reps helping you when you are using Onstar.
The Verizon w/ Onstar folks are very knowledgable, and can answer all your requests.
Now this is why it would be nice to have some sort of an Onstar Subscript promo, because you can't use the Verizon package unless you subscribe to Onstar.

I'm sorry I'm locked into Cingular for another year. I love the hands free QUALITY on OnStar

Re: While we are talking Onstar
I did not go with the Onstar phone because I am with Cingular. I did, however, get a Blue Ant wireless SuperTooth II. It is a portable handsfree bluetooth. It comes with a metal bracket for the sunvisor. The SuperTooth II has two magnets on the back and it just attaches to the sunvisor bracket. I get a call, I hit the talk button and talk. It can go anywhere, in or out of a car/truck.
As for XM - I am past my trial, had paid for one month. I called, mentioned the secret word and I am set for a full year at $77.00.

Re: While we are talking Onstar
What is the deal with Verizon? I have them as my cell plan. I keep getting their flyers but I haven't yet sat down to dedicate the brain power... Can anyone summarize it into bullets?

1) 9.99 a month extra line. This is a 2nd cell phone # that becomes the Veh's new Tel. #. This charge is for the 2nd line and is added to your monthly plan charge.
2) Need to have one of the Verizon Family Share plans, to be eligable. For example, the 1400 minute anytime minute plan.
3) It is strictly a handsfree calling device. No voice mail or enhanced services. If you are in the car with the ignition on, calls can be made or rec'd. If the ignition is off, the phone will ring for the caller about three times and then just falls off. There is no ringing in the veh. unless the ignition is on.
4) The Onstar Device tel. # uses its minutes from your bank of monthly allowance minutes during peak calling.
All other promotions for minute usage still apply. For example unlimited Verizon Wireless calls, Unlimited Nights & Weekends.
Everything else is the same as with the Handset, asfar as the plan goes. You just don't have the voicemail and enhanced services. It works really well.
The new Cell phones are Digital only for the most part now, to be compliant with the FCC. Starting with Model year 2008, the Onstar devices will also follow suit.
Right now they are still Tri-Band, Digital/Analog. Analog, by its very nature carries further and with Onstar, gets a better signal in rural areas. I've been in VT, with no cell service but can make and receive calls with the Onstar Device no problem. That will all change in '08. Unless of course the Companies put up a lot more Cell antennas.
It's like FM and AM. Now ther's XM. What will be next for Cell phones?

Re: While we are talking Onstar
OnStar offers discounts if you sign up for longer terms. When I owned my Avalanche, I renewed for five years and it cost around $750 CAD. (About $550 USD at the time.) I was able to cancel when I sold my Avalanche, and used the money for the deposit on my H2.

Anyone know of CURRENT DISCOUNTS on OnStar ???
XM is not my interest, listen to CD's mostly.
Thanks
